Accountant and Home Army resistance member Ryszard Siwiec dies of injuries due to self-immolation on 8 September at the age of 59 in Stadion Dziesięciolecia, Warszawa, Województwo Mazowieckie, Poland.


Siwiec was the first person to commit suicide by self-immolation in protest against the Soviet-led invasion of Czechoslovakia.
